FluidScan® 1000 Series

Part Number: Q1000

The FluidScan is a handheld infrared spectrometer used for on-site oil condition analysis. It measures TAN, TBN, oxidation, water content, fuel dilution, and other key parameters—without solvents or lab prep. Designed for predictive maintenance, it meets ASTM D7889, the standard practice for condition monitoring of lubricants using IR spectroscopy.

                                                
                                                    Portable Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy Engineered for Field Diagnostics                                                
                                            
                                                The FluidScan utilizes solid-state, mid-infrared spectroscopy to provide real-time insights into the chemical condition of oils. Its patented optical system and robust build make it ideal for industrial and mobile environments where lab analysis isn't feasible.

                                                
                                                    Multi-Parameter Analysis in One Measurement                                                
                                            
                                                With a single test, the FluidScan can simultaneously evaluate Total Acid Number (TAN), Total Base Number (TBN), oxidation, nitration, water content, glycol contamination, fuel dilution, and more—eliminating the need for multiple devices or repeat testing.

                                                
                                                    Solvent-Free Testing for Faster, Cleaner Operation                                                
                                            
                                                Unlike traditional laboratory methods, the FluidScan does not require solvents or complex sample prep. Users simply deposit a small oil sample (~100 μL) on the reusable flip-top cell, allowing for fast turnaround and minimal waste.

                                                
                                                    Compatible with a Wide Range of Fluids                                                
                                            
                                                The system is capable of analyzing mineral oils, synthetic esters, phosphate esters, glycol-based fluids, turbine oils, and even used or degraded fluids—making it highly flexible across sectors like aviation, marine, energy, and transportation.

                                                
                                                    Built-In Fluid Library and Custom User Profiles                                                
                                            
                                                FluidScan includes a library of common lubricant types and allows users to create and store custom fluid profiles for user-specific equipment. The device automatically matches new samples to known baselines for instant diagnostics.
